To all whom it may concern:

s Be it'known that l, MORTIMER (l. ROSEN# -of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented n new and useful 'l 1nprovenient in a Combined Pipe and Beam Clamp, of which the following is a specification, the rinciple ol the invention beingr herein exp ained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions. My invention relates to means for supporting pipes and particularly to pipe-supporting means adapted to be secured to l or channel beams. y' The object of such invention is to pro-eide a supportlng device of a character which may be readil attached and detached 'from i beam an which may be applicable to beams of varying sizes.

The said invention consists oi means here inafter fuilly described and particularly set forth in the claims.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail, certain mechanism embodying the invention, the disclosed means constituting but one of various mechanical forms in 'which the principle of the invention may he applied.

In said annexed dlrawingsz--lligure 1 represents a perspective view of a combined pipe and earn clamp embodyingl my invention, showing a section ol supported pipel in its secured. position. Fig. 2 represents an elevation of such device showingr a portion of such pipe and also an -bcam `in seetiouto which said support is secured. llig.,`% rep' resents a cross-sectional vice' of one ond of the clamp. Fig. 4 represents a perspective view ofthe main member or stem oi" the clamp. Fig. 5 represents a detailed view illustrating a modiedform ci one of the clamping niembers, showing also a sectional-portion oi the channel bea1n`,to which suoli modi'liechjorm of device is secured. Fig. 6 re resents an elevation of a combined pipe and eamuclamp showing a sect-ion of pipe supported thereby, and also a channel beam in section to which the clamp is secured, Athis ligure illustrating a Second lnodilied forni oi' clamp arranged. to be applied to a channel beam.

Referring to the iorm ol clamp illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, A is the main member or stem and is provided with a curved portion or seat (t for receivingr the Lipe l.' A strap it .is provided and is similarly formed WitheJ curved seat. This strap is scoured to the stein A by means oi two bolts o2 whereby it Will he seen that the pi e may be iirmly secured upon thc'stem." llpon the opposite end of the stem and upon oppositel sifis thereof are mounted two clamping inem (L3 o3 which are secured to the said stein b means oi boltsa4 d passing through holes a5 formed in the stein and holes d" formed in the clamping member. The clamping .mene bers and stern are respectively provided with a plurality of these holes, whereby it is seen that they may be adjusted and secured in various ositions longitudinally along said stem. he inner end of' the one member is formed with a projecting lip c." which is adapted to hook over and engage the edge )ortion of; one side of the Hanf-*e oi the learn C as shown in Fig. 2. Trie opposite end, of the other clamping member is similarly formed with a projection o7 which is adapted to hook over and engage the opposite side of such flange.

lt tion that the clamp may be securely les tened to the I-beani )flange and the two clamping members be adjusted to fit beams of varying` sizes. By providing tivo such clamping members it williurther bev seen that the pipe may be supported at varyingy distances from the beam. ln order to adjust the clamping members to 'lit 'varying ol beams they one moved in opposite directions and secured, and in order to vary the distance of the point of support from the benin, 'the two clarnpingT n'ieinbcr..y c

Lnwvcd in the samt direction and secureril,

will 'be readily understood.

Yln llig'. .l have, as-'bciore mentioin shown a modified form ol crarnp. Such niodi'lication consists in providing1 the one clamping member with a perpendicular or'. set as. in which is mounted a set-screw d. The other clamping member is formed as in the 'first described structure. this modification it will be seen that one clampingr member may engage the edge portion of the channel' flange and the other member, throiiirh the medium of said set screw may be caused to engage the channel at a point opposite .seid odge portion. ln stead of providing` the olf-set with a set-screw it may be provided with a hole om throng-3h. which passes n. screw d 4which screws int-i e, threaded hole (L12 formed inx the channel shown in Fig. 6.

will be noted from the above cons-truc" By means of l Otherl modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed, instead ol the one explained, and change may be made as regards the mechanism herein disclosed, provided the means covered by any one of the following elaims be employed.

I, therefore7 particularly point-out and distinctly claim as my invention 1- l. in a combined pipe and beam clamp, the combination olE a stem provided with a seat for receiving; a pipoJ a strap adapted to be secured 'to said stem and in conjunction with the latter, secure a pipe in said seat; two members mounted upon said stein, lon- Ifgitudina'lly adjustable theroalong' an d adapted to engage opposite sides oi' a beam.

2. In a combined pipe and beam clamp, the combination of a stem provided with means for securing it to the pipe and with a multiplicity of perforations; tWo perforated 20 clam ing members mounted upon said stem para lel with the latter and adapted to engage opposite edges of the beam, and bolts passing through the perforations of the stem and clamping, members for fixing' same in said described parallel position.
